Morning summer light

  


There's nothing more beautiful than early morning light-- especially shining on these blooming trumpet lilies. 

In the Northwest, we almost always wake up to crisp, cool air. And yes, sometimes that heavy marine layer of grey clouds, but there's no doubt, Seattle has some of the best summer weather in the country.

Yesterday at the Coliseum in Rome, a different light-- the intense brilliance of Italian sky on a blistering hot morning. 

The families are on their way home now, with a lifetime of memories for the kids to someday share with their kids.  

But frankly, this makes me so thankful having seen some of these places way back in the 1970's, when we just strolled into St. Peter's Basilica with a baby in a backpack (Amanda.) 

A cardinal patted her on the head, and we caught a glimpse of il Papa walking by. Talk about unforgettable.
